A Fair Wager



O come fair one and let’s play
A quiet game of croquet;
     A wager twill be
     For you or for me,
Whoever shall carry the day.

“And what shall the wager be?”
O, certainly, let me see;
     If I win at this
     I shall have a kiss
From the girl thus beaten by me.

“If I lose what shall it be?”
O, what a sad fate for me!
     If by chance I lose
     (I cannot refuse)
Why then you shall have one from me!
